Tuition 2024-2025

Tuition, Stewardship & Development

Providing our children with a high-quality, faith-filled education is an effort that requires financial support. The average cost of educating a student is over $8,000 per year. The school is funded through:
  • Tuition payments
  • Stewardship offerings & Parish investment
  • Development commitments
  • Parent Fundraising

Tuition Assistance

We know that Catholic education changes lives. For many families, though, the cost of tuition makes it unattainable. If a family desires a Catholic education for their student, we encourage you to apply for financial assistance through FACTS.
 

Parish Investment

The parish invested over $88,000 in offerings in the school for the 2023-2024 school year. The church relies on the generosity of school families and all parishioners to make this investment.
 

Fundraising Commitment

St. Alphonsus/St. Patrick School has a Finance Committee that plans initiatives to grow the school’s Celtic Fund. The Fund covers the cost of multi-student tuition discounts, tuition assistance, academic and technological enhancements, budget shortfalls, and future resources. Each year, a development goal supports this effort. Each family is asked to contribute to support that goal and participate in voluntary fundraising efforts and events. Your support is appreciated!

The St. Alphonsus / St. Patrick School Board- Advisory Council

The mission of School Advisory Council is to promote and support excellence in the Catholic education of St. Alphonsus/St. Patrick School students.

 

This Council is an essential group created to focus on the development of the school’s long-range plans. The members will review and advise concerning the school budget and setting tuition rates. Furthermore, they will participate in recruitment and act as a public relations and marketing arm of the school.

 

Membership on the Council includes members with various areas of expertise, including public relations, finance, development and curriculum. As of now, the School Advisory Council membership will consist of school parent representatives, parishioners, and a representative from the Lemont community.
